Chapter 265 The Fake Liang Bridge
"Mu Xiaoyu! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! I won't fall for your tricks!"
Xu Sulin may be a bit slow-witted, but he's not beyond redemption. Now that he's come to his senses, he understands perfectly well what Mu Xiaoyu was trying to do!
Mu Xiaoyu was scolded by Xu Sulin, but instead of getting angry, she laughed.
However, seeing Xu Sulin's increasingly unpleasant expression, she finally suppressed her smile. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly, pretending to be serious as she said, "Sigh, how could you think of me like that? Do you think I'm such a treacherous person? Never mind, if you don't want to stay, then forget it. You should leave. If you stay in my house too long, and Mu Pengzheng's people are monitoring you, it might backfire. I won't see you off. Goodbye."
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she pushed Xu Sulin out, not giving Xu Sulin a chance to speak at all. After she finished speaking, she saw Xu Sulin off.
Li Chenxu had been keeping an eye on Mu Xiaoyu and the others out of the corner of his eye. He appeared serious and aloof on the surface, but inside he was already amused by Mu Xiaoyu. Now that Xu Sulin was gone, Li Chenxu stopped being so reserved. He immediately put down the financial newspaper in his hand, walked up to Mu Xiaoyu, hugged her, and kissed her several times.
"How come I never knew before? How could you be so mean?"
Her words were full of barely concealed laughter. Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu glared at Li Chenxu with a look that was both reproachful and angry: "Do you know what Xu Sulin said about you and me before you came back this morning? He said that after you know my true colors, you won't like me anymore. Now that you know how bad I am, do you not like me anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu feigned a troubled and conflicted expression. He pondered seriously for a while, until Mu Xiaoyu was about to explode with anger. Then, he looked down at Mu Xiaoyu, smiled, and said, "What should I do? Now that I've seen your true colors, I'm starting to like you more and more. What am I going to do?"
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't stop smiling; her fair face was filled with happiness.
She tilted her head and looked Li Chenxu up and down, finding herself liking him more and more no matter how she looked at him. In the end, she cupped Li Chenxu's face and kissed him, while humming twice and saying proudly, "Since you like me so much, I'll reluctantly continue to like you."
"Reluctantly?"
Li Chenxu tightened his grip on Mu Xiaoyu, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her with a half-smile, as if he would do something the moment Mu Xiaoyu nodded.
Most people would have been terrified by Li Chenxu's appearance, but Mu Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of him no matter what he looked like. Instead, she raised her chin and looked at him, saying, "So, you're just doing it reluctantly? Are you going to bully me if I tell you the truth?"
"I certainly won't bully you now, but who knows about tonight..."
As Li Chenxu spoke, he lowered his head and whispered something in Mu Xiaoyu's ear. Mu Xiaoyu's face turned red rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
She glared fiercely at Li Chenxu, but unfortunately, the glare had no intimidating power whatsoever; instead, it gave off a feeling of feigned reluctance.
Li Chenxu was aroused by Mu Xiaoyu's appearance and was about to kiss her again and have some intimate time with her when his phone suddenly rang.
It was a text message ringtone. He didn't know who had sent the message, but when he saw the content, Li Chenxu's expression changed instantly.
He released Mu Xiaoyu, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "Assistant Lin just sent a message saying that there is news about the person who was in contact with Mu Chao before."
Upon hearing about Mu Pengzheng, the playful banter between the two vanished instantly. Mu Xiaoyu frowned at Li Chenxu: "What did Assistant Lin say?"
"It wasn't mentioned above. I'll have him come over now, and you'll find out soon enough."
Originally, Li Chenxu had planned to have Assistant Lin go to the company, but thinking of Mu Xiaoyu, he had Assistant Lin come directly to the villa instead.
Lin Zhu arrived shortly afterward.
He was carrying a thick stack of documents, and it was unclear what he had found out; his expression was very serious.
Upon seeing Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu, he first handed them the documents in his hand before saying, "Sir and Madam, the person who had contacted Mu Chao before is in the capital. We've searched the entire capital these past few days but haven't found any trace of him. Coincidentally, you asked us to investigate Li Zhe before, and we've discovered that Li Zhe is 99% certain to be in contact with the person Mu Chao was contacting. However, Li Zhe's current appearance is so different from that person's..."
That being said, since Assistant Lin had already stated there was a 90% chance, it was basically confirmed that Li Zhe was that person. However, Li Zhe's appearance differed quite a bit from the person Mu Chao had described, so to be on the safe side, Assistant Lin didn't say it with absolute certainty.
"If that's the case, then Liang Qiao and Ge Yun are very likely to be related to Mu Pengzheng?"
Mu Xiaoyu spoke up at this moment. She had felt that something was off about Liang Qiao before, and now, with what Lin Zhu had investigated, she was even more certain. If it weren't for Liang Qiao's face, which was completely different from Mu Pengzheng's, Mu Xiaoyu would have even suspected that Liang Qiao was Mu Pengzheng.
Lin Zhu seemed to be struggling with something, and didn't immediately answer Mu Xiaoyu's question. Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu didn't urge Lin Zhu at this time either, but the two of them stared at Lin Zhu, putting a lot of pressure on him. After a while, Lin Zhu stammered, "We haven't found out whether Mu Pengzheng and Liang Qiao are related yet, but we have found out that Liang Qiao's identity may be fake."
The reason Lin Zhu said "possibly" was because Liang Qiao did exist, but it wasn't the Liang Qiao currently beside Ge Yun. As Li Chenxu's assistant, his professional skills far surpassed those of ordinary assistants, but at this moment, his speech was somewhat incoherent. Not only Mu Xiaoyu, but even someone as intelligent as Li Chenxu couldn't fully understand him.
"Tell me what happened slowly and clearly. There's no rush."
Fortunately, Li Chenxu did not blame Lin Zhu at this time. After a moment of silence, he comforted Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu had been worried that Li Chenxu would blame him, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. But after hearing what Li Chenxu said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
